Various Nikon camera accessories such as a battery, charger, a remote trigger, battery adapter and various other memory cards, a torch, filters, straps and cleaning equipment were taken too.

DC Mark Cotte, from the Hatfield Local Crime Unit, said the owner is “very keen” to get his property back.

“Much of the equipment is expensive and easily identifiable so I’m keen to speak to anyone who thinks they have seen it or who may have been offered it for sale in the weeks since the break-in,” he added.

Anyone with information about the incident should contact police on the non-emergency number 101 quoting crime reference B2/12/1321.
